Babysitters Extraordinaire

Last night marked another "first" for the Smith's in this world of parenthood — an official babysitting experience! As in leaving our cell phone numbers, figuring out the going-rate, giving last minute instructions and then driving away. Granted, our drive was two blocks to Luke's preschool for parent night, but still, a major milestone!

After walking Madison and Emma home, Luke cried through the walk home and most of his bath. I get it. These girls are extraordinary! When we got home from parent night, the three of them were playing this intricate game where Emma would throw a softball over our upstairs railing to the hallway. Luke would then throw it down the other side of the open hallway to Madison, who would try to hit it with a bat (a soft one!).

I may need to hire them again while I fill out all the medical paperwork for preschool. "Has your child had any surgical experiences?" "Does your child take any medications?" It's going to take me a while.

Jesse, You're right --- with our heart kiddos those medical forms take forever! We just don't get away with a simple N/A.Glad you've found some dependable babysitters! That's a big step!By the way, Luke is looking so grown up and handsome!Heart hugs,Pam

Should I be happy that Luke had such a great experience or sad that I wasn't his usual babysitter? Of course I'm thrilled that he got to spend time with friends and had so much fun. One more giant leap...

About Us

Roger and Jesse welcomed Lukas Scott into our lives in January of 2007. He came into this world with only one ventricle, but with incalculable lessons to teach those who love him. This blog is intended to keep family and friends updated on Luke's journey, and in the hopes of passing on the encouragement, joy and deeper understanding of God's love we receive by knowing Luke.
